Seahawks CB Brandon Browner to sit against 49ers

It seems the Seahawks’ secondary will be lacking some of its boom for Sunday night’s much-anticipated matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Unsurprisingly, Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner confirmed Sunday afternoon on Twitter that he will indeed be sidelined for the game.

This from Browner:

Lord knows I did everything in my power to get ready, slept with machines to my leg. I do know the team is ready tho #bestndawest

Browner also sat out during last week’s 12-7 win over the Panthers after suffering an injury to his hamstring the week prior in practice. Similar to last week, backup cornerback Walter Thurmond is expected to take Browner’s place opposite Richard Sherman on Sunday night.

In other roster news, the Seahawks signed defensive tackle Clinton McDonald and parted with tackle Mike Person, the team announced on Saturday. McDonald was first acquired by the Seahawks in 2011 in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, and has since appeared in 29 games with Seattle.
